Most likely. There are better ways to do it.
However, when the turbo is placed much closer to the exhaust manifold and with some fuel being burned there for a high overall turbocharger efficiency, hence less turbo-lag, there's the danger of too high temperatures for the turbo to cope with... for instance, Porsche seems to be having all sort of problems with turbos NOT withstanding the high temperatures (I still don't know why people say Porsche is reliable... let alone for the price! ): Porsche Recalls 1500 Vehicles Worldwide over turbine issue There is the possibility that turbochargers may have been installed on which the ball joints on the adjustment mechanism for variable turbine geometry can become corroded - 911 Turbo (997)/911 GT2 (997) Last edited by GoingTooFast; 07-24-2012 at 08:36 PM.. |

There is NO other car that is worth to talk about at the moment... I'm trying to convince Toyota and Subaru to give me a Toyobaru for free.

Well, you do religiously bump this about every hour. Isn't there a BRZ forum somewhere that needs you?

The 128i is not available in the UK... what best resembles the 128i is the 125i with the 6 cylinder engine and 218 hp.

Another little vid which shows how the Toyobaru can be FUN even at very low speeds...
